Happy Burns Night everyone!Burns Night celebrates the life of Scottish poet Robert Burns. The night normally comprises of the recital of Robert Burns poems, the eating of Haggis and of course the consumption of Scottish whiskey. Robert Burns was well known for his romantic poems and was regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement but I would wager that many people know of his works without even realising it, for he is the author of Auld Lang Syne (the song nobody can remember all the words to on New Year's eve).
On a final, geeky note, there are even several apps showcasing his work, and even a guide to how to have the perfect Burns Night!
